Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups cold coconut oil
• 0.25 cups cold water
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cups almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to form. Stop adding water once the dough starts to clump together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, form it into a ball, and then flatten it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to make the filling.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick, forming a rectangular shape.

Step 8

Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 9

Gently roll the dough from one of the long sides to form a log. Seal the edges by pinching the seams together.

Step 10

Slice the rolled dough into 2-inch pieces and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the tops with a little almond milk and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
